A satellite orbits the Earth with an elliptical orbit modeled by squared over million three hundred thirty four thousand four hundred plus y squared over forty three million nine hundred fifty six thousand nine hundred equals comma where the distances are measured in km.
The Earth shares the same center as the orbit. If the radius of the Earth is , what is the maximum distance between the satellite and the Earth?
Maximum distance between the satellite and the Earth :
The equation on which satellite revolves =
General equation of elliptical orbit =
Comparing both equations, we get
The Earth is revolving around the same center with the radius
Maximum distance between the satellite and the Earth
